Microsoft Enters the Anti-Spyware game...

Looks like Microsoft has made their first release from their recent acquisition of Giant Company Software. They have made available a beta release of their upcoming Windows AntiSpyware software which it seems is going to be free when it is released.

If you haven't run a anti-spyware program lately, I'd highly recommend it (this one or any other of your choice). I thought I was totally clean because I am very tight on what gets installed on my computer, yet I found the ELogList for Windows NT/2K (Trojan) on my XP Laptop!

I guess it depends on the speed of your machine. I do notice it a bit but haven't gotten to the point of turning it off. Hopefully they will work on performance issues before the final release is put out. Otherwise people will not end up using it.
